Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q
Owner
At Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q, you'll always enjoy authentic Southern barbecue at its best--always tender, always juicy. Over the years, Sonny's has added specialties, such as sweet and smoky barbecue ribs, hand-pulled pork and tender fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs. Sonny's barbecue is prepared the old-fashioned way with a hardwood smoker then served up fast and friendly just like the old days.
But great barbecue isn't the only reason folks stop by. You'll also find a relaxed atmosphere and a warm smile every time you come in. We've been pleasing customers since 1968 and perhaps that's why we're America's largest barbecue chain with more than 150 restaurants operating in nine Southeastern states. Whether dining in, ordering takeout or letting us cater your next event, one thing's for sure--we're going to make you feel good!

In Short

A common roadside stop, Sonny's offers low prices and barbecue; roomy booths, wagon-wheel chandeliers and homey craft art are the standard dining room decor. House barbecue sauce, available sweet, regular or hot, spices up large helpings of smoked beef, pork, chicken, turkey and ribs. Sides like fresh fried okra, onion rings and barbecue beans complement the entrees.

Located in the end of a small shopping center, I've been to Sonny's twice. Once for their dine-in service, and once for their surprising drive-thru service. I'll speak about the dine-in service first. The dine-in experience was pretty good. The service was average but our waitress did her job well. After being served our drinks, my girlfriend and I could only chuckle at the glass barrels that they give us to drink out of. Now, I'm a big guy, so I'm in NO WAY complaining. I just thought it was quite humorous to be drinking out of something so big. When I went, there was an all-you-can-eat ribs special. For a big guy, that special was just glistening in the light. Needless to say, that's what I ordered. The ribs came out three at a time, which was kinda rediculous in my opinion, but there were 5 different barbecue sauces to choose from, which I loved. The barbecue sauce caddy was similar to iHop's syrup caddy and allowed for experimentation with mixing and other sauce fun. However, the ribs were... basic. That's not to say that they weren't good, but they didn't have the slow-cooked, meat-fall-off-the-bones ribs that you get at some of the more local places. Though I had a good indoor experience, I think that Sonny's shined in their drive through. Though the food was the same, this service was rediculously fast and one of the best values I have seen for barbecue. For about twenty dollars, there was this huge meal for two: ribs for two, two sides for two (four sides in total), and bread (garlic bread or cornbread) for two. All of the food came out very hot and fresh and we didn't even wait five minutes. I'm still wondering how they delivered food that hot so fast. Anyways, I would recommend Sonny's for anybody needing their "fix" of barbecue. It may not be the best, award-winning barbecue in Florida, but food is good, service is decent, and their drive through is great.

Sonny's Real Pit BBQ is located in Davie on S University Dr. It is very family and kid friendly. You place your order and then sit back and relax. There are televisions on. The waitress/waiter brings your food. The barbeque chicken and ribs are good. They have other things on their menu too like salads, soups, pork, burgers and more.
